Wonderful Vibe (for couples)

This toy will probably never be my absolute favorite for solo play, but I probably will use it quite often for extra stimulation when my boyfriend and I have sex. The material feels amazing, and I love that it is so flexible. Hard, rigid toys are just very intimidating to me. I think it is great for beginners, but I especially recommend it for couples!

Pros:

PetiteIntense vibrations located in headGreat for extra stimulation during sex

Cons:

Hard to use controls"High-pitched" vibrations might just leave you numb

I believe that because of the petite size and flexible shaft, this vibrator is best for beginners and couples. This vibrator is anything but intimidating. As a beginner, the size was perfect. It did not make me sore or feel too tight. It actually even left me wanting a little more length, which was a huge tease and made me even more aroused. It feels amazing on nipples, the clit, and felt pretty good being inserted as well. However, personally I think I will continue to use this toy only for couple play. Because it is small and flexible I was easily able to use it while my boyfriend and I had sex. The high-pitch vibrations do not get me off easily in solo play, but the provide just enough clitorial stimulation to make me climax much easier during intercourse, which I really enjoyed! However, I definitely do not recommend this toy for anal penetration because there is no flared base, but it might be alright for teasing that area.

This toy is made from TPR. It can not be disinfected with boiling water, but can be easily cleaned with soap and water or toy cleaner. Make sure you clean it thoroughly, though, because TPR is porous and can harbor bacteria. Also, if you choose to share this toy, you should definitely use a condom. I absolutely love the material this toy is made of! It is soft to the touch, almost velvety, and very flexible.. Plus, it is phthalates free. There is a slight smell, but it is not noticeable unless you stick your nose straight up against the toy, and even then it is not really an unpleasant smell. There is the slightest amount of drag when you rub it against your skin, but the use of a lubricant gets rid of that completely. When I was really in the mood, lubricant was not even necessary. It did pick up a little bit of lint or hair, but it was not bad and was easy to clean. I really enjoyed how soft this material was on my skin, and the flexibility of it made it much less intimidating to me, a new user of toys.

I liked the design of this toy. It reminded me of the shape of a penis, without being a total copy of genitalia. It is shaped more like a "feminine" and fashionable penis. That being said, it is very obvious that it is a sex toy. You will have a lot of trouble passing it off as anything else. The ridges in it felt nice during penetration, even if they were not overly stimulating to me, but my favorite part was on one side of the head there is a little "notch". This fit perfectly around my clit and provided great sensations. It is a very small vibrator. Sometimes the insertable length left me wanting more, and it is also not very thick around, perfect for beginners. It is powered by 2 AAA batteries in a twist off compartment that does not lock. I found opening and closing the battery compartment rather diffitult and frustrating because every single time, I would start to turn the dial that operates the toy. This was even worse when I had lube on my hands or on the toy. Therefore, it was pretty much impossible to get the battery compartment closed 100% and for that reason I will not try submerging this toy underwater, even though it says that it is waterproof.

The Wonder Vibe 1 has multiple speeds, but they are pretty unreliable as it is controlled by a twist dial that does not click into place. Very slowly turning the knob that controls the device generates sounds akin to that of revving up a sports car. It starts to accelerate, and then slows down. Sometimes the vibrations get stronger and sometimes weaker, until you get to the end of where the know will turn and the vibrations JUMP to a very strong level. Personally, the inaccuracy of the dial was not a huge issue because I tended to use the vibrator on the lowest setting and then the highest, just skipping the in between. However, It was really hard to turn that dial in the heat of the moment. I kept grabbing the entire bottom portion and trying to rotate, while the dial is actually only located at the very end of the toy. I found that, especially with lube on my hands, it was very hard to grab a hold of and turn, which was extremely annoying.

The vibrations are located in the head of the shaft, which makes it very powerful for clitorial stimulation. However, the vibrations are very high-pitched and people who enjoy "low, throbbing" vibrations might just feel like it leaves them numb. However, for such high-pitched vibrations they are pretty quiet. My sister could not hear it when I was holding it tightly in my hand while the TV was on, even though she was in the same room with me. It definitely will not be heard from the next room, even through pretty thin walls.

The material in this toy is safe to use with both water and silicone based lubricants, although personally I just always use water based. I clean it with just warm water and a mild soap. The toy does claim to be waterproof, but the battery compartment comes off very easily and is extremely hard to screw on completely, so I do not submerge this toy in water during cleaning. It is very easy to reach every inch of this toy. Only the ridges take a little extra work to clean, but it is definitely not a hassle. After cleaning, I simply store it in its original packaging. Nice and easy!

This toy came in simple, plastic packaging that I continue to use as storage. There were no naked people on it, or any people at all for that matter. Simply the name of the product and a bit of useful information about it (batteries, length, phthalates free, waterproof, etc.) Nothing exciting, but a nice package that makes very easy storage.

I loved using this toy during intercourse with my boyfriend the most. The vibrations are a little high pitched and buzy, so they are not felt the strongest during penetration, but they feel amazing on my clit. That little bit of extra stimulation was exactly what I needed to get off faster and easier during sex. Plus, the wonder vibe feels so smooth and bends a little bit, so it was not a bothersome during sex. It felt great on both of our skin, the vibrations even added to the experience for him a little bit, and it fit easily between our bodies. It probably will not be easy to use in all positions, as it is still a normal sized vibrator for penetration, but it has worked really well for us so far!
